A man reported missing more than two years ago was found in a freezer in a storage unit in Ventura, the victim of an apparent homicide, authorities said.

Jeffrey Korber had been reported missing in Laguna Beach in July 2011, but investigators with the Laguna Beach Police Department closed the case in 2012 after finding no signs of a crime.

Korber’s body was found in the storage facility in June, and investigators with the Ventura Police Department suspect he was killed by the son of a woman he was dating.

According to a statement released Wednesday by the Ventura Police Department, investigators were led to Korber’s body in June after receiving a tip.

Detectives obtained a search warrant for a unit at Ventura Mini Storage and found the body inside a working freezer, the statement read.

Investigators suspect Korber was killed sometime in 2011, while he was living with his girlfriend Mary “Francesca” Hannan in Ventura, according to the statement.

Authorities would not release any details of the killing, but said the leading suspect is Hannan’s son, 49-year-old Michael Bresnak.

Hannan is suspected of helping Bresnak in the killing, according to the statement.

According to arrest records, Bresnak was arrested on June 28 on suspicion of violating the terms of his release from state prison.

Hannan has not been arrested.

Cmdr. Darin Schindler of the Ventura Police Department said officials are hoping someone in the public may be able to assist detectives with the investigation.

Investigators are still working to find some of the details behind Korber’s death, he said.

No charges have been filed against Hannan or Bresnak, he said.

Authorities have been searching for Korber since July 2011 when his brother, a resident of Laguna Beach, reported him missing, said Capt. Jason Kravetz of the Laguna Beach Police.

The brother told authorities Korber’s last known address was in Bradenton, Fla., and it was odd for him not to contact family for an extended period of time, Kravetz said. The brother had last heard from Korber on April 25, 2011.

A Laguna Beach detective contacted authorities in Florida and also found several areas in California Korber had frequented, including hotels and motels in San Diego and Ventura.

During the investigation, the detective at one point traveled to a home in Ventura and spoke with Hannan for more than two hours, but was unable to gain information about Korber’s whereabouts, Kravetz said.

The detective also found Korber’s vehicle had been towed from a parking lot at Los Angeles International Airport.

The investigation eventually became inactive in 2012 after authorities found no sign that a crime had been committed, and could find no trace of the 58-year-old man, Kravetz said.
